Coaching has been the most unexpected blessing in my life. I always felt like their was a void in my life but I had no idea what it was. Have you ever felt that way before? You know when things are going good --- you have a good hair day, you feel good in your outfit, your surrounded by family and friends, you have a good job, you get to travel for fun, buuuutttt yet --- something just is missing. You start questioning all of the good things in your life. Are they making you happy? Are you missing something? Did you pick the wrong path at some point in your life?
I have been there --- several times actually. Growth happens in these moments --- you just have to be willing to open the door when the opportunities come knocking!
Throughout my adult life I have been blessed with many amazing career opportunities. Each time I saw them coming and welcomed them with open arms. I jumped on it--- opportunities open new doors and new doors lead to your future. Right? Okay --- so what happens when your life keeps opening up doors that are incredible and that you are truly grateful for --- buttttt --- you still don't feel fulfilled?! YIKES right?! That happened to me!
It was like seeing my future flash before my eyes --- I started rethinking my future and what I truly wanted from it. The more I thought about it, the more I saw myself working from home, having a flexible life, raising my kids, and maybe working part time as a teacher! This thought kept popping up in my mind but I kept shoving it off because how the heck would I be able to pull off a dream like that? I can't just not work or tell my students that I only want to teach part time! I can't decide what positions are available in my community. SO how would I be able to do this!?! I was started to settle for my reality. I would not have the opportunity to choose to stay home once I had a family. I either teach or I find another career! YIKES! That was a scary thought!
So you know how I was saying before that you need to leap on the opportunities when they come knocking? Typically I see these life changing things coming my way but this time I was blind-sided. The opportunity came up in a split second. I didn't attend no coffee call, webinar, sneak peek, or anything! I JUST saw the opportunity and leaped! Truthfully I didn't even realize how big of an opportunity it really was! Although it was a scary leap of faith it was the most life changing leap I will probably ever take! -----I NOW have the opportunity to say I will substitute teach to have more flexibility, or I will wait until a part time job comes up, or I will wait to start teaching full time once I am done having a family. Either way ---- now the ball is in my court because this CRAZY opportunity gave me the chance to CREATE something for myself that I would NEVER have known I could do before! It gave me the financial flexibility to decide what my future would look like instead of the money deciding what I needed to do!
So I am here to say --- this is an opportunity knocking. Answer the door and hear it out. Join me in a real and candid informal coffee date -- LIVE online at 11am CST on Sunday, January 24th!
